We went there for a birthday dinner in November. Party of four. We have two Course A and two Course B. These are both tasting menu with about 10 courses. The chef greeted us in person, made sure we are well taken care of. All food are made in-house, including dessert. We can tell the chef put in a lot of heart into this place. Highly recommend!

Nothing exciting to bring backHome from service to food to ambience was just a big disappointment.

Our experience at Garlic Yuzu was fantastic! The food was excellent, and everything on the menu was absolutely delicious. My spouse and I loved it. I can't wait to be back and enjoy another wonderful dinner here.

Small intimate but very nice restaurant. Reservation is required. They only do tasting menus and I believe you have 2-3 to choose from. We received really good service and the chef came out multiple times to check on us and make sure we were satisfied. On top of the top notch service the food was amazing. The Korean fusion was so different and tasty. I will definitely be back to try the other menus.

One word to describe my dining experience: WOWSmall-ish restaurant that has a nice, intimate ambiance. Service was great, as our server was on top of her game and made sure she checked on us frequently and kept our glasses full. The chef even came out a few times to check on us and we just couldn't stop telling him how impressed we were with the food.I ordered the Menu B and hubby got Menu A so we could taste the different items that came from my menu vs his. Every single dish we were served was so delicious. You can tell the ingredients were high quality and fresh. Everything was cooked to perfection and each bite was a burst of flavor. Towards the end of my 10-item meal, I was so full. My stomach was telling me no, but my mouth kept telling me yes (R Kelly remake?).This is a place to consider taking that important client or date if you're looking to impress. We will definitely be back, even if it's just to impress our taste buds again.

A quaint little restaurant with an upscale ambiance in front of the future Durango Resort. There is a single server who greets you at the door and takes care of you throughout the entire meal. The reservations need to be made and paid for in advance. Currently there are only two options with option A offering grilled octopus vs B offering a seared giant scallop. The shrimp option is also different where one is garlic shrimp and the other tempura, both giant shrimp. Option B provides a braised short rib that peels off the bone while the NY strip steak on option A comes with a very tasty sweet potato noodle. The shishito cream is on both options and I have to admit it was delicious, I would have a whole bowl of just that. The purple potato dumpling that accompanied the 6th course was outstanding, I longed for more. Every single course unique beginning with seafood and ending with meat after the limeade paper cleanser. This restaurant offers a variety of Wine BTG as well as Sake but no luck finding beer here, which honestly would not pair well with the amazing menu created by the Chef. It was wonderful to have the Chef come out between courses to check on us and receive some feedback, he's a very talented artist. Although is a small place, the booth we sat in felt private and the music level allows for conversation within your table. Kids are allowed in here but keep in mind only tasting menus are available. The coursed meal showcases small portions but the whole experience is very filling. I asked for the steak course to go to be able to taste the whole meal. The mochi butter cake was my absolute favorite out of the three options provided. The creme brulee has a yuzu syrup at the bottom that was a little too sweet for my taste but nevertheless a perfectly cooked creme custard. I came to celebrate my birthday and a free glass of wine was kindly offered to me. Very important to note, since you pay in advance, bring cash for the tip. Otherwise they are able to charge a dollar to your CC in order for you to tip for the service. I look forward to the next rotating menu, it was an exquisite meal. Thank you to the amazing kitchen staff.

This place deserves its five star rating and I pray influencers (no hate fr) don't blow this spot up.The tasting menus rotate seasonally but you can see what your options are on their website. You need to make your selections ahead of time when you make your reservation because the chef preps accordingly. They also are accommodating of people with nut allergies. Just give them the heads up I've actually been multiple times when they've had an A, B, or C option available. However, even though the price may vary, this isn't the kind of place where one option is inherently superior to the other. They're completely* different experiences. I put an asterisk because the first three dishes and the last two are common among all three options.Anyway, the food is great and actually very filling. Me and my friends have always left stuffed even showing up there after a morning workout and not having had anything to eat all day.Additionally the service is excellent. The servers and the chef check on you and also make recommendations on how best to enjoy each dish if it has multiple components.Also without having any alcohol to drink, I always experience a buzz of feel-good, like my whole body is happy to be there, the only thing I can liken it to is a runner's high. So yes, um, please don't take my review seriously, I don't want this place overrun but I also want them to stay in business forever

Amazing, there's no words to describe how detailed and personalized the experience was. The chef came to introduce himself and do a check on the food. I thought that was very thoughtful and unique. Also it was my boyfriends bday hence why we picked this place and they comped a wine glass. Which it was so tasty. The food 10/10 no complaints. We had menu b and c in my personal opinion I liked more the b menu but of course that's what I picked based on my taste. Will come back. I loved and enjoyed every moment of it. Also the ambience was dope. The music was super relaxing and it just made you feel like where somewhere else
The food was meticulously prepared and the chef really cared about our dining experience. I love variety so the menu options were appealing to me. You choose between 3 tasting menus and each menu has about 10 courses. The meal started off super strong, unique combinations that were executed well. The main course was the weakest to me, the short rib was kinda dry and lacked some flavor. My favorites were the scallops on risotto and appetizer trio. For the owner: I appreciated that the server cared about our experience, but I felt like they were asking whether we liked the food too often. He pretty much asked us after every course...which is 10 times over a span of 1 hour. A bit too much interaction, especially when diners are trying to have conversation.

What a hidden gem off the strip. This was our best meal in Vegas, period. We would have returned the next day.. and the following day.. if we had more nights available to us, but we were flying out the next morning. We appreciated the Korean-based dishes with other Asian & Western influences for each dish. Tip: Menu A and B are signature items off of their top sellers (when they used to have an a la carte menu) and Menu C is seasonal. We had Menu A - we didn’t care too much for the NY strip, but everything else was incredible!

A wonderful experience! My husband brought me here for my birthday dinner. We had the B course menu, which included 10 courses. All of the food was delicious! My favorites were the shishito pepper soup, scallop with risotto, and the yuzu crème brulee. Chef Hong came to check on us and talk about the dishes throughout the dinner course, which was a really nice touch to make the meal a more intimate experience. A tasty, well-prepared meal worthy of every accolade they have earned so far! Can't wait to come back to try the other course menus.

Was told to go try this restaurant. I agreed but absolutely dreading leaving the strip. How could I be so wrong. This was a very chill vibe. We were the only table at that seating time. We went with B. I will return and try A. It was simply fantastic.

I got the course B, one of my friends got course A. All the food was delicious, as you would expect from the price, and it was really well curated as a course meal in my opinion. Definitely a nice splurge for a fancy evening - you do get what you pay for. Service was great as well and the chef came out multiple times to check on us. After receiving our courses, I realized that course B has a lot of food volume (much too much for me) while course A had a smaller amount, so if your stomach is larger or smaller, I think that is something to take into account. Personally, the shishito pepper soup, dessert trio, and the limeade were my favorite parts!
